Withings aims to be the most trusted name in clinical-grade smart health devices. Already the leading innovator of smart scales, our product portfolio includes connected scales, connected blood pressure monitors, sleep monitors, thermometers, and health/activity wearables, too. Ergonomic and unobtrusive, Withings devices appeal to the eye, as well as look after the heart. Our intuitive and reliable interfaces make a daily checkup a breeze, and this helps us to achieve our most important goal: changing people’s lives.
Historically a B2C company, Withings created a new B2B division - Withings Health Solutions - 2 years ago, to extend Withings’ offering to the Healthcare industry and help bridge the gap between patients and their providers.
Today, our products power a diverse and growing set of health programs, centered on disease prevention and promoting healthy habits. From chronic condition management to remote patient monitoring and clinical research, Withings has dedicated solutions that provide the richest array of accurate, real-world data, thanks to our complete ecosystem of connected devices, data connectivity options, and our remote patient monitoring platform.
Withings Health Solutions is a small but very fast-growing division within Withings and we are looking for talented individuals to help us build the future of healthcare.
For the past 10 years Withings has been creating devices that combine cutting edge medical technology with premium design. These easy-to-use devices connect to apps and act as powerful daily health check-ups, as well as tools to help master long-term health goals. The ecosystem range includes award-winning products across the health spectrum.
We are driven by the promise to revolutionize people’s relationship with their health, by bringing new measurement tools that collect and monitor vital parameters remotely. Whether monitoring chronic diseases, detecting under-diagnosed conditions, or simply helping people with motivational tools, our objects and applications are transforming the daily lives of all those involved in healthcare, from patients, to professionals to researchers.
From our offices in Issy-les-Moulineaux, Boston and Hong Kong, we have complete control over the product life cycle, from R&D to marketing.
A true innovation laboratory, Withings was the first to bring a smart scale to market, and the first to introduce metrics reserved for the hospital environment into everyday objects. Today we are going even further with the technology that will enable better health monitoring in the coming years. Join us.
